TMWH Throttle owners should perhaps check their firmware Thrustmaster Firmware Updater (3.0.33) ".. \Thrustmaster\Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog-TPR Rudder _UPD\Update Service.lnk" "..\Thrustmaster\Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog-TPR Rudder _UPD\Firmware Update.lnk" Up to date: Joystick - HOTAS Warthog - Ver.: 12 Throttle - HOTAS Warthog - Ver.: 23 Ver.: 12 -13/11/2017 - HA1OJ PIC USB v12.tmf

You should sell your line of gear as exceptional on Ebay.

you must have setting at Low. "seeing" steady 90FPS is the DCS reference and I find this exceptional

I think DCS prevents MSAA override settings, I do run the SuperVCAA 64X 8v8 though, I think it helps against stutters and shadowing. Mind you my card GTX 1080 does not like the lowest settings of anything, it has better performance with higher settings

I keep endless dated backups of my Saved Games dirctory (with - almost - every update I create a dated copy of the current DCS directory) My setting BTW, do not update, these stay with an update. Even Openbeta<>Release work with the same saved games dir.

Errrr, I run a TMWH, had a pause off DCS for a couple of weeks (dug up that other civ sim), my TMWH push&slew did work couple of months ago, then couple of weeks ago not anymore (I simply fly the diamond on the target), so, I remembered I had set my SC push/slew like on the default A10C settings (as in almost not), so just changed that back to default 'Reset' (afterwards tweaked with a curve and a max Y), and I just tested it because of this thread, my SC push&slew works fine. Openbeta of a couple of days ago hotfix 2.5.4.26552 ?

not too fast, perhaps to much throttle/thrust still?

Seems you're too fast, when I take-off w. flaps and make a 180, see that I ended up too fast before leveling @600, I raise flaps, only then level. Same at final break, when f.i. you're too slow before the final turn in, you can only add a short burst of throttle which brings you around, but nothing more. When you're fast you cut early, but mind not to correct with too much throttle in a massive short burst if necessary to get around the corner. Is what I do. (You need to know your speed all the time, in particular your speed delta, the speed acceleration or deceleration and ease into the desired number)

SSAA is a crazy insane way of implementing AA Then again its mostly there I suspect for VR use, where these goggles somehow depend on a crazy insane way of implementing AA.

Strange, like I mentioned I had that same (VR) problem up until recently, IFLOS a shimmering nothing pixel surrounded by a puddle of more shimmer. Perhaps its my new (a lot higher) Rift settings. Oculus Tray Tool SS 2.5 (!), DCS PD 1.5, DOF Bokeh, Textures&Terrain HIGH, SS x2, Aniso 16x etc In daylight I can (now) see a yellow dot of the IFLOS at >5 miles out if approached from the right angle, and easily (workable) spot the ball now soon enough at final, where before this was a wild guess about something yellowish within that shimmer blob. I had to restart DCS and test the view of the deck about 30 times to get here, but he. How about them apples? (Fingers crossed its not a freak coincidence)

VA lets you also assign such one long macro to 1 key or 1 button, never tried that though

Actually I think it is (now?), with VR it was hard to find the ball, but it seems, now I can

Use VoiceAttack ($10) and create voice macro's is what I do. Right HSI, TACAN on ICLS on, TACAN and ILS on HSI, Course, Map scale, Altimeter (FPS/Indicator), all done by voice, u can make this 1 voice command if you wanted

I do this all the time when practicing traps. Trap, roll back with counter steer so nose goes right, unhook, full brakes and full AB throttle, starts roll, wait till AB kicks in, let go of brakes. Saves time. BTW I seem to be able to see the ball better now since whenever and noticed I have to be high ICLS to be on the ball. Weird. I think it's wind.

AI wings run me over when trapped on the deck for the heck of it I say 'flight RTB' whilst rehearsing trapping (or else these ditch with on empty fuel), I am in a very dark night with my 4-6 trap on the deck, going outside view to search for which wire. I get torpedo'd by a wingman.

I'm wasting time after getting rather bored of endless repetition of the obvious, what is your excuse mucking about here trying to find something useful (edit: like a clever VR setting)

You're not a pilot are you?

You're debating here the uncontested, about a topic where there are multiple sides to the same subject which apparently seems to be lost in the conversion of the classics versus that of what apparently seems to be the era of perhaps the supposed millennial and more recently again altered to a supposed generation “Z”. Which is not so much about redundancy but about perspective where mind you - perhaps by accident and disguised as a game, but others will think differently - we’re here simulating the life and trade of officers who are flying their vessels on military commission under the guise and construct that such an officer does so under license and privilege of sovereign will which is earned (as an archetype). Hence your mentioned sacrifices. And I will leave it at that.

NOTAM (do military have notam?) Stennis landing lights back working, thought some people might be pleased to hear. Todays openbeta, just updated 2.5.4.26368 Flight test, night, and deck landing lights came on after contacting (not in daylight).

Well, if you tune your settings its 45fps which is the Tray Tool .5x default (not for those pesky missions with a lot going on) BTW VR is like watching through the bottom of milk bottles, so .. then again most VR users choose to stick with VR not going back to 2D

Something peculiar is going on in New Zealand, calling out Vikings as wimps I'd say cannot be historically accurate in our days of effeminate men (I met some Maori men in a hotel bar when once upon a time in NZ, and indeed these where quite the fighting breed, I can witness to that, considered to be the Viking of the Pacific perhaps and in NZ rugby), and repetitiously stating the obvious indeed gives room to wider reflection I'd say. By the way that certain video sequence starts with throttle cut, hence the proper level flight dirtying up as I mentioned before (I checked it).

I see you are chiming in from Wellington NZ, mr. Weta43, you antipodes, you the weak of heart who have massive forests of ferns in your environmental protection programs (what the hell is that about, I ask not seriously), such girly inclinations do not fit in with the harsh Spartan and manly (FA-18 girl pilots are no doubt considered to be of men substance), perhaps unspoken but very much observed to, self-willed selective process and tapping into the order of the USA military officers club, the NAVY and marines an especially wilful bunch, who think the open seas are theirs to inflict order upon any designated trespasser, rightfully so or not, not to be questioned. Perhaps in Wellington the Viking has been bred out of you, I suggest not so much in the America of an admiral Chester W. Nimitz or a general Norman Schwarzkopf Jr, who would gladly eat you for breakfast if told to do so (whatever you might think of that on a more academic level, which on this subject matter has no value whatsoever).

'Lower stress ' and such, that's the student version of a given motive (eh, excuse). From a management and human resource perspective, from an instructor and recruitment perspective where the product output is “slots”, such 'it's a lot easier .. and much lower stress' are the 'they can't’ ‘nope’ ‘write off’ ‘not motivated enough’ ‘slacker‘ ‘weak’ ‘uninspired’ ‘we don’t want these’ 'not driven enough' 'unfit' checkbox categories, isn't it (I am of the old school).

I do think though there was this 'up fps with VR' mod that doesnt work anymore, but DCS now when fps drops to 22-32 fps, doesnt seem to drag or stutter, and my wild guess is DCS integrated this mod (a simple shader tweak presumably)

“ .. All pilots are officers. To become an officer in the Navy, you are required to have a college education. Typically pilots are bachelors of science in any of the STEM field. .. you will be commissioned the rank of Ensign first. There are a few ways to accomplish this. One is to enroll in a Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program at a civilian college, which will allow you to attend military classes and drills in addition to a regular college curriculum .. (with a ) a bachelor’s degree, you can go to Officer Candidate School, an intensive 12-week crash course in military studies held at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. .. swim a great deal as part of an intensive physical conditioning program (WTH .. :) ), and learn the basics of naval propulsion. .. (only after this one can apply for) U.S. Naval Academy .. you are required to take 25 hours of instruction at a certified flight school, completing at least three solo flights, one of them cross-country .. For six weeks, you’ll study aerodynamics, aviation physiology, engines and navigation in a classroom .. you’ll have spent more than 100 hours aloft in the T-34 or in flight simulators .. you’ll progress to the T-45 Goshawk for hands-on training .. more than 100 hours” https://www.thebalancecareers.com/becoming-a-navy-pilot-3354833 After this the public record stops for no doubt here is where instructor assessment and the dark forces of NAVY career management starts, where the highest echelons of military brass are mostly adherents of Thomas Hobbes and his publication “Leviathan”, the Christ and Bible of the USA military culture, the weeding of the chaff on God’s orders. And damn you sinners.
